I. INTRODUCTION
This volume is the 84th annual vital statistics report of the State of North Carolina. It is intended to serve as
a basic resource to those individuals, institutions, and agencies delivering and/or planning health services for
the citizens of North Carolina.
The tables of this report show annual frequencies, annual rates, and 5-year rates for the state, six
Perinatal Care Regions, and the 100 counties of North Carolina. Due to incompleteness of the data and po-tential
problems with accuracy, information for cities is not shown in this year's edition. The reader may obtain
vital statistics for cities in North Carolina by special request to the Center.
Section II contains maps depicting county data. Sections HI-VI contain description and discussion of the
terms and procedures underlying all tabular and graphical data presented.
Other publications available through this office are described on the back of the front cover. If you

Caution: Any percentage or rate with a small number of events in the numerator will have sub-stantial
random variation over time. A rule of thumb is that any percentage or rate with fewer than
20 events in the numerator may be subject to serious random error. Therefore, many of the per-centages
and rates in this volume should be interpreted with caution.

II. GEOGRAPHICAL PATTERNS IN VITAL STATISTICS
This section contains nine maps depicting population and selected vital statistics for the state's 100
counties. Data and population bases for the vital statistics rates are for the 5-year period 1995-99. The
range of data values indicated by the map legend was formed by a clustering routine from the Statistical
Analysis System. 1 This routine groups into five clusters counties that were "most like each other" with
respect to the statistic being examined. This procedure may result in very large or very small groups,
depending upon how counties differ from one another.
The nine maps display the county statistics listed below. Definitions and formulas are found in
Section VI and maps displaying county names are printed on the reverse sides of region and county
divider sheets. It should be noted that marriage and divorce rates are not mapped because these data are
tabulated only by county of occurrence, not county of residence.

7. Postneonatal Deaths per 1,000 Neonatal Survivors
8. Infant Deaths per 1,000 Live Births
9. Deaths per 1 ,000 Population
Although the vital statistics rates shown on the maps are 5-year rates, be careful when interpreting
relatively high rates in sparsely populated counties. These counties usually have a small number of
births and deaths, which may create a very unstable rate. Consult your respective county tables for the
1999 numbers involved before becoming concerned about relatively high county-level rates.

III. REGISTRATION OF VITAL EVENTS
The origin, flow, and disposition of North Carolina vital records are illustrated in the flow diagram on the
following page. A brief history of vital records processing and current registration practice in North Carolina
is presented.
The Bureau of Vital Statistics was created by an act of the General Assembly in 1913. The Vital Statistics
office became apart of the Department of Human Resources in 1973. In 1989, the General Assembly combined
the Department of Human Resources' Division of Health Services and the environmental and natural resources
divisions of the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development to create the new Department
of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources. In 1997 the public health divisions, including the Vital
Statistics office, were combined back with the human resources division to form a new Department of Health
and Human Services. The public health authority of this department and the laws that it administers are
contained in Chapter 130A, Article 4, of the General Statutes of North Carolina. Within the organizational
structure of the Department of Health and Human Services, the State Registrar of Vital Statistics is appointed
by the State Health Director. Duties of the State Registrar are accomplished primarily by the Vital Records
Branch of the State Center for Health Statistics.
Birth and Death
The collection of birth and death records began on October 1, 1913. The Department of Health and Human
Services is the custodian of these records. The hospital administrator or person attending a non-hospital delivery
is required to file a birth certificate or fetal death report within 10 days after delivery. The funeral director or
person burying or otherwise disposing of a body is responsible for filing a death certificate with the local
registrar within five days after death.
The local registrar is the county health director. A clerk of the county health department, designated by the
local registrar as deputy registrar, carries out registration procedures locally. The deputy registrar forwards the
original birth and death certificates to the Department of Health and Human Services on the fifth day of the
month following the birth or death, where they are processed and permanently preserved. Microfilmed copies
and computerized data from birth and death certificates are sent to the National Center for Health Statistics.
North Carolina was admitted into the National Death Registration Area in 1916 and into the National Birth
Registration Area in 1917.
Fetal Death
North Carolina law requires the filing of a fetal death report for fetal deaths (stillbirths) of 20 or more weeks
gestation. Legislation enacted by the 1971 General Assembly and subsequent legislation requires that
therapeutic abortions be reported separately, effective May 19, 1971. Thus, the induced abortion report form
now replaces a fetal death report for the very few therapeutic abortions occurring at 20 or more weeks gestation.
For this reason, counts of fetal deaths and perinatal deaths since 1971 are not strictly comparable to counts in
previous years.
Marriage and Divorce
In 1957, the General Assembly enacted legislation requiring that the duties of the clerk of court include the
registration of divorces and annulments of marriage effective January 1, 1958. Certificates of divorce and
annulments are required to be sent to the Department of Health and Human Services on or before the 15th day
of the month following the event. The filing of certificates of divorce rather than divorce listings was started
January 1, 1984, following legislation in 1983.
By virtue of legislation enacted in 1 96 1 , the duties of the county register of deeds include the registration of
marriages occurring on or after January 1, 1962. Copies of the certificates of marriage are required to be
forwarded to the Department of Health and Human Services on or before the 1 5th day of the month following
the marriage. The original certificates are filed with the county register of deeds.
In January 1964, North Carolina was admitted to the National Marriage Registration Area. North Carolina
is not a member of the National Divorce Registration Area.

IV. TECHNICAL NOTES
Residence Allocation
Except as otherwise indicated, births and deaths in this report are based on place of residence. In the case of
a birth or fetal death, residence is the usual residence of the mother. For deaths of persons in long-term
institutions (mental, penal, old age, orphan, nursing home, rest home, etc.), the institution is considered the usual
residence, provided the decedent has resided in the institution at least one year. College students and military
personnel are considered residents of the college or military community.
North Carolina participates in an interchange program whereby photocopies of nonresident birth and death
certificates are required to be sent to the state of residence within two months of the date of occurrence. The
National Center for Health Statistics acts as a control for this interchange through a report from each state that
lists the number of each type of vital record sent to every other state. However, delays or omissions in the
interchange undoubtedly occur.
Occurrence Allocation
Items 9 and 18 of the tables allocate live births and deaths respectively to place of occurrence regardless of
place of residence. Marriage and divorce data are compiled only by place of occurrence - county of license for
marriages and county of decree for divorces and annulments - because (i) all states do not engage in an
interchange program whereby we receive notification of North Carolina residents who marry or divorce in other
states and (ii) the two parties to these proceedings are often residents of different counties or states.
Race or Color Allocation
Two broad categories, "white" and "minority," are used in this report. Minority is predominantly black
(>90%) in North Carolina. For births and fetal deaths, the child is considered to be the same race as the mother.
Due to some cases of different races of the two parties involved in marriage and divorce/annulment
proceedings and to a number of "not stated" race cases, frequencies and rates for these events are not shown
by race.
Completeness of Registration of Vital Events
Completeness of registration is defined as the degree to which reported birth and death counts agree with the
true counts in a given time frame. Birth registration, tested for completeness in 1940 and 1950, was found to
be 86 and 96 percent complete respectively.2 Death registration is believed to be even more complete than birth
registration. Fetal death registration, tested for completeness in 1974, was found to be 99 percent complete. 1
Marriage registration was tested for completeness in 1963. Over 99 percent of performed marriages had a
properly recorded certificate of marriage.4
Delayed registration results in incomplete recording of vital events for a specific time period. Frequency
counts in this report are based on 1 999 events filed with the local registrar prior to April 1 , 2000, and processed
in the state office before the end of June 2000. Based on examinations of lagtimes in prior years, the number
of calendar year events filed after April 1 of the subsequent year is considered negligible.
In addition to the above, a source of incompleteness in residence data could involve failure of other states to
send photocopies for North Carolina resident events occurring in their states. The extent to which this occurs
is unknown.
1-17
Accuracy of Items on Certificate
The Vital Records Branch maintains continuous surveillance of certificates to detect inconsistencies in
related items (e.g., newborn's name vs. sex). However, the true extent of bias and unreliability of vital records
data is not known. One study by the State Center for Health Statistics has addressed the issue of the validity of
selected birth certificate items, as compared with information recorded in the mother's hospital medical record.5
Treatment of Missing Values
As a result of a survey to reconcile inconsistencies in the data and to complete unanswered items, missing
values are rare for the characteristics included in this report. These "not stated" cases are treated in one of two
ways:
( 1
)
not allocated because they are believed to have an unknown distribution that is different from the
distribution for "stated" cases; or
(2) randomly distributed in the same proportion as the "stated" cases for the state.
The following table shows the number and treatment of missing values in the statistical files underlying this
report. In the case of race, marital status, mother smoked, and method of delivery, most of the missing values
are due to absence of these items on certificates from other states.

V. POPULATION BASES AND BIASES IN
VITAL STATISTICS RATES
Every 10 years (years ending in zero) the U.S. Bureau of the Census counts the United States population,
which includes a profile of the population's characteristics such as age, race, and sex. After a census year,
estimates of population size and composition are based on knowledge of the population in the census year plus
subsequent events such as births, deaths, and migration.
In the latter years of a decade, estimates may depart considerably from "true" population values to the extent
that assumptions, particularly about in- and out- migration, depart from what has actually occurred. Thus, vital
statistics rates that are based on population counts in the denominator may be subject to some degree of error.
1-19
VI. DEFINITIONS AND FORMULAS
Caution: Any percentage or rate with a small number of events in the numerator will have substantial random
variation over time. A rule of thumb is that any percentage or rate with fewer than 20 events in the numerator may
be subject to serious random error. Therefore, many of the percentages and rates in this volume should be interpreted
with caution.
Births and deaths are exhibited in the tables of this report by frequencies and rates. The term "rate" usually
means the number of vital events in a given period of time divided by the average number of people at risk during
that period. In this report, the average number of people at risk is usually the midyear population, the period is
one year or five years, and the rate is expressed per 1 ,000 population. For example, the formula for a single-year
birth rate is
B—
x 1,000
P
where B is the number of births in the year and P is the midyear population. Similarly, the formula for a 5-year
birth rate is
B,+ B
2 +B3 +B4 + B5
P+P+P+P+P 1 2 3 4 5
x 1,000
where B,,B
2
, etc. are the numbers of births in the particular years and P , P , etc. are the midyear populations
in those years.
The term rate is also used in this report to mean a simple proportion expressed per 100 or per 1,000. These
rates are the ratio of two related vital event counts. An example of this type of rate is the single-year infant
mortality rate. The formula is
D—
x 1,000
B
where D represents deaths of infants during a year and B represents live births during the same year. Another
example is the low birthweight rate which is the ratio of low birthweight births to total births expressed as a
percentage.
LBW
x 100
B
Rates are rounded to one decimal place for publication. Except for marriages and divorces for which race-specific
rates are not calculated, a blank in the rate column indicates that both the numerator and the denominator
are zero. A rate of 0.0 is shown for rates less than 0.05.
Inaccurate reporting, under-registration, and missing values have been discussed (Section V). These factors
affect the validity of information involved in rate computation. The users of vital statistics measures should be
aware of these possible limitations.
Furthermore, you should cautiously interpret rates that are based on small frequencies since they may be
associated with relatively large chance fluctuation. For this reason, 5-year rates are included. Based on an
increased number of events, these average annual rates are more stable than the single-year rates.
In comparing rates, consider carefully the factors to which a difference in rates might be attributed. Unless
the populations are equivalent in all factors except the one for which the comparison is made, conclusions about
differences in rates may not be clearly drawn. Age-adjusted rates or other further analyses may be necessary
in order to make valid comparisons.
1-21
Definitions and formulas are given in the numerical order of their appearance in the tables. Except for items
9 and 18-20, rates are for resident events.
Definitions
1
.
Population is the expected population of an area as of July 1 of the event year. Figures shown in the
tables of this report are summations over age-race-sex-specific estimates provided by the Office of State
Planning.
2. Natural Increase is the excess of births over deaths among residents of an area.
3. A Live Birth is the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception,
irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, which, after separation, breathes or shows any other evidence
of life, such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or any definite movement of
voluntary muscles, whether or not the umbilical cord has been cut or the placenta is attached (definition
adopted by World Health Organization in 1950).
4. Attendant is a physician (M.D. or D.O.) in a hospital, a physician not in a hospital, a certified nurse-midwife
(CNM), or other attendant. Legislation during 1983 (H.B. 814) regulates the practices of
CNMs; these practitioners must have certification by the American College of Nurse-Midwives.
5. Low Birthweight includes liveborn infants weighing under 2,500 grams (5 pounds, 8 ounces or less)
at birth, regardless of the period of gestation. (Birthweight index recommended by the Expert Group
on Prematurity of the World Health Organization, 1950).
6. Birth Out of Wedlock is birth to a woman who has never been legally married or who has been
widowed or legally divorced from her husband in excess of 280 days.6
7. Mother Smoked is based on birth certificate reporting that the mother used tobacco during the
pregnancy.
8. C-Section indicates that the method of delivery was either a primary or a repeat C-section.
9. An Occurrence Birth is one that occurs in an area irrespective of place of residence. Live births
occurring in an area to residents of the area are also shown in the tables. Complementary totals, i.e.,
nonresident births occurring in the area and resident births occurring elsewhere, may be obtained by
subtraction.
10. Perinatal Deaths are the sum of registered fetal deaths and neonatal deaths (see definitions below).
1 1
Fetal Death is death prior to the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product ofhuman
conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, as indicated by the fact that after such expulsion
or extraction the fetus does not breathe or show any evidence of life, such as beating of the heart,
pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles (definition adopted by
World Health Organization in 1 950). Consistent with North Carolina law, this report includes only fetal
deaths which do not qualify as therapeutic abortions and which result from pregnancies of 20 or more
weeks gestation (see Section IV).
12. Neonatal Death is death of a liveborn child under 28 days of age.
13. Postneonatal Death is death of an infant age 28 days and over but less than one year of age.
14. Infant Death is defined as death of a liveborn infant under one year of age.
15. Death is defined as the permanent disappearance of any evidence of life at any time after live birth. 7
Also, North Carolina law (G.S. 90-322) defines criteria for certifying "brain death."
1-22
16. Age at Death is reported age in completed years as of the last birthday. Errors in reporting are believed
to include underestimates for ages 22 through middle age and overestimates for persons nearing their
21st and 65th birthdays and for those over age 65. Preferences for ages ending in certain digits (e.g.,
age ending in and 5) may also result in undue concentrations of reported ages.8
17. Place of Death is the hospital, other institution, or noninstitution place of death.
18. An Occurrence Death is one that occurs in an area regardless of place of residence.
19. Marriage is defined as the legal union of a male and a female (North Carolina G.S. 51-1). Marriages
are by place of occurrence; race-specific data are not shown (see Section V).
20. Divorces and Annulments can occur only by decree of an authorized court. Annulments, which void
marriage from the beginning, constitute less than one percent of the sum of these events. A divorce from
bed and board is a judicial separation suspending cohabitation but not otherwise affecting the marriage
bond. Divorces from bed and board are not included in this report. Divorces and annulments-are by place
of occurrence; race-specific data are not shown (see Section V).
